The alleged witches who stormed the Assembly premises 

It was chaos and confusion as over one hundred alleged witches stormed the office of the District Chief Executive over LEAP allowance (Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty) at Gushegu in the Northern region of Ghana Monday morning.


According to information gathered by Starr News, the women who are camped at Kpatinga, Nabuli and Leli'tabari allegedly for possessing spiritual powers stormed the administration block singing dirges and demanding payment of their LEAP allowance.

This resulted in a halt in activities as Assembly officials found it tough controlling the alleged witches. Even after they begged and promised them to look into the matter, the alleged witches refused to leave.

According to the leader of the group Alimatu Sadia, government through the Ministry of Gender Children and Social Protection registered them as LEAP beneficiaries but they have since received nothing for two years.

She decried government's indifference to the poor and widows as they promised to vote against it. It took a team of religious leaders in the community to calm the alleged witches.

The district officer in charge of social welfare Mr. Tia S. Dokurugu told Starr News that there was little his outfit could do because they had compiled names of all beneficiaries to the headquarters in Accra and was only waiting for the funds to be released for payment.
